The Green Bay Packers and their fans were left with great concern as quarterback Jordan Love exited Friday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with an apparent leg injury. As the team's flight lands in Wisconsin, reports have shed some light on Love's condition, ruling out an ankle injury and raising the possibility of a knee injury.

According to sources, Love is set to undergo an MRI later on Saturday morning to determine the extent of his injury. The initial belief among fans and experts was that the quarterback had injured his ankle. However, the latest update from the Packers, along with video footage of the incident, has confirmed that it is not an ankle injury.

The video captured Love's awkward tackle between two Eagles defensive linemen, Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat. Unfortunately, the footage also suggests the potential for a knee injury, as Love's knee appeared to pop during the tackle. While the exact nature of the knee injury remains unknown, early tests indicate that his ACL is still intact, according to sources.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was unable to provide a definitive update on Love's status after the game. He simply stated, "I don't know." This leaves the severity of Love's injury uncertain, as it is yet to be determined if there is any other structural damage in his knee.

Love's upcoming MRI and additional tests will play a crucial role in determining the full extent of the injury. The results will provide a clearer picture of Love's status and the potential timeline for his return to the field.

The Packers, along with their fans, will be anxiously awaiting news on Love's recovery. As the team navigates the remaining preseason games and prepares for the regular season, the health of their backup quarterback holds significant importance.

Updates on Jordan Love's condition will be shared as soon as more information becomes available. In the meantime, the Packers will be closely monitoring the situation and making any necessary adjustments to their roster.
